Agony in the news media
Some studies suggest that the news media coverage of euthanasia frames the dying body as a horrible, untreatable, and intolerable bodily state. This study analyses the framing of the dying body, its organic dysfunction, and the profiles of terminal and end of life people in the euthanasia debate in Portugal and the United Kingdom. The sample includes 72 stories containing references to organ dysfunctions caused by terminal and end of life illness…
They Have So Much in Themselves”
The everyday interactions between humanitarian workers and refugee youth represent an overlooked dimension of humanitarian research.

Em termos comparados, Portugal é hoje um país de repulsão migratória, característica que partilha com a maioria dos estados …

O sentido de voto dos eleitores residentes no estrangeiro, 1976-2011

Etnografías de la convivialidad y superdiversidad
Las migraciones internacionales son actualmente uno de los factores que más contribuye a la diversidad cultural. Sin embargo, al enfocarse los estudios migratorios en la integración, muestran limitaciones cuando explican la diversidad intercultural. Por ello han surgido nuevos paradigmas con una visión más holística, que incluyen los patrones de relaciones, interacciones y tipos de influencias entre los residentes inmigrantes y autóctonos. En est…
Contextual reasons for emigrants’ electoral participation in home country elections
Although emigrants represent an increasing share of the electoral population in many democracies, not much is known about their participation in home country elections. With the purpose of contributing to fill such gap, this article develops a longitudinal and exploratory analysis of the contextual factors of emigrants’ participation in national elections in the case of Portugal (1976–2015), a country with one of the highest emigration rates of t…
Regresso e circulação de emigrantes portugueses no início do século XXI
This text’s main objective is to assess the importance of the return of Portuguese emigrants in 2001-2011, in the light of the number of people who came back, their sociodemographic profiles, the variations in the countries they came from, and the emergence of new forms of mobility. A more particular goal is to produce a typology of forms of return: some more associated with the traditional view of people emigrating when they are of working age a…

Historically, migration studies have focused on the integration of immigrants \nforegrounding race/ethnicity and identity issues, limiting our understanding of intercultural \ndiversity.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind? External Voting and the Political Representation of Portuguese Emigrants
Over recent decades, emigrants have gained expanded voting rights on a global scale. Despite the normative debates about this issue, there are few empirical studies on why states decide to implement external voting and how electoral systems perform. This article seeks to fill this gap by looking at the Portuguese case. Our study suggests that a combination of political and socio-economic factors explains the implementation of external voting. On …
